Wow-Bear gobbles up pies at B.C. pizza joint (video)

Pizza is popular food for animals too…

CALGARY - Andrea Lawrance is used to customers having growling tummies. But this unexpected visitor had a bear-size case of the munchies. Lawrance was washing dishes at Fat Tony's Pizza in Whistler, B.C. Monday night when a furry four-legged customer with a big appetite arrived about 7:30 p.m. for some grub. "I was working with my friend Jorja and there was a bear outside on our garbage can," Lawrance. She and co-worker Jorja Threlsall tried to close the door but decided to seek refuge behind the pizza racks as the black bear ripped apart the garbage can in front of them. While they wondered whether the curious critter was going to cross their threshold, suddenly it wandered into the store to another garbage can inside. But it turned out, it wasn't the garbage can it wanted after all. This bear had its eye on the pie. (Source- QMI Agency)

Crazy-Shut-in hoarder had thousands of child porn images

Too much time four years and spent up to 15 hours a day on his computer…

WINNIPEG - A Winnipeg man arrested in possession of a massive child pornography collection had not stepped outside of his house in four years and spent up to 15 hours a day on his computer, a judge was told this week. Ken Kreton, 61, pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of possessing child pornography, one count of distributing child pornography and one count of breaching a court order he not access the Internet. Kreton "spent an unbelievably inordinate amount of time on his computer and very little time doing anything else," said Crown attorney Terry McComb. Kreton is confined to a wheelchair and suffers from cerebral palsy and a host of other medical ailments. He told court he couldn't leave the house because he was too busy monitoring security alarms for his now-defunct alarm company. "I was monitoring alarms 24 hours a day," he said. "Not all of my time was spent on the Internet looking at pictures."Kreton came to police attention in the fall of 2009 after he was caught using a peer-to-peer program to exchange child pornography with a U.S. undercover agent.

How- Student website links to gay porn

That was a weird surprise…..

VANCOUVER -- A Vancouver school board trustee is calling for annual reviews of online teaching materials after it was discovered a popular learning resource linked to a gay porn website.Ken Denike said the Out in Schools booklet, which teaches students about health for gay men, drastically changed in August to include a link to explicit videos.“I thought it was really inappropriate, especially for a 13-year-old,” the long-term trustee said. “This is material that’s on Xtube, which is really adult material.”The booklet has been available in school libraries for years and refers students to several websites, including HiM (Health Initiative for Men), which according to Denike is a “catchy”-looking site.Clicking on the link opens explicit videos of naked men having sex and messages such as, “If you f--- without a condom go get tested.”Denike wants teachers to start reviewing online teaching materials because they can change without warning.

Lucky-Sexy Chicken ruffles feathers, is now on Twitter

This is chicken is more popular than peoples…

The chicken that was just too sexy for her skin now has a voice, thanks to Twitter.It all started when an image of a naked chicken, propped up like a '70s centerfold (bow-chicka-bow-wow), was featured as art Tuesday on an accompanying New York Times story about a growing obsession among chefs for crispy, greasy, tasty chicken skin. While the image was buzzing (clucking?) all over Twitter, by Wednesday, PETA’s feathers were ruffled. The animal rights organization was not amused by the image, calling it “downright offensive.”"When I saw it I just couldn't believe that an editor of The New York Times would find it acceptable," PETA's founder and president, Ingrid Newkirk, told The Atlantic Wire. "It's a plucked, beheaded, young chicken in a young pose," she said. (Source-New York Times)

LOL-For a fun time (and a fake girlfriend), text this number

Good site for single peoples…

Maybe you're lonely, maybe you're tired of being teased over your single status, or maybe you're just a bit odd — there are plenty of almost reasonable sounding excuses to get a fake girlfriend. And thanks to a new service, it's now easier than ever.This service is called FakeGirlfriend.co — no, there really isn't supposed to be an "m" after the "co" — and it'll provide you with a fake girlfriend who'll send text messages and even call you.

Here's how it works:

•You save the FakeGirlfriend.co phone number — which is (212) 804-6979 — in your contacts as Natasha or Lisa (or whatever pretend name you've given your beloved).

•When you're out with friends and want to make them think that you've got a hot girl waiting for you, you send a text message to that number.

•A few moments later, you'll receive a text message back.

•Another few moments later, you'll get a call with a pre-recorded voice message.

From what I can tell after briefly trying out FakeGirlfriend.co, the text messages and pre-recorded calls vary each time. (Source-MSNBC)

Bad-Woman, 67, abandons her car after getting stuck reversing

Reversing car is still difficult….

Wiola Nowicka, 67, attempted to turn around in the car park's narrow driveway once she noticed the high prices she would have to pay. Nowicka's bad sense of judgement resulted in the driveway being blocked for five hours, as her car was wedged between the driveway walls.'I didn't mean to be a nuisance,' said Nowicka. 'After a few turns I couldn't go backwards or forwards any more.'

Engineers were able to get the car out from the tight space, with careful inch by inch precision.

Nowicka isn't the only driver over 50, to have misjudged at the wheel.Earlier this year, an 86-year-old Californian woman crashed her car through the Rock N' Road cycling shop, narrowly missing customers.(Source- metro.co.uk)

ABINGTON — School committee member Ellen Killian says she had no idea what was about to happen when Chairman Russell W. Fitzgerald used her in a magic trick that made it look as if her bra had been removed with the pull of a handkerchief.

“I was just as shocked as everybody else,” Killian said. “I just want to make it clear I had no prior knowledge how his trick was going to end.” The Abington Education Association, the teachers’ union, said it also wanted to “set the public record straight” that high school teacher Steven Shannon, who was asked to participate in the trick, was also caught off guard.“Mr. Shannon had no prior knowledge that he would be asked to participate in any trick and he would have refused to participate if he had known what the chairman’s trick involved,” the union said in a statement Wednesday. Union President Jessica Kinsman said it is “unfortunate that Mr. Shannon, the 2011 Abington Teacher of the Year, was made an unwitting participant in a prank that caused embarrassment to others and to the community.” The AEA does not condone any activity that causes personal embarrassment or that diminishes the respect that should be afforded to public policy makers carrying out their official duties.” Fitzgerald said in a written statement he now regrets his choice of the trick and apologized to both Killian and Shannon.” My intention was to begin a purposeful school committee business meeting in a way which was enjoyable and light-hearted,” he said. “I am sorry for the embarrassment this has caused Ms. Killian, my fellow school committee members and the School Department.” Fitzgerald said he will not be performing tricks at future meetings. “My desire is to get back to important school department business.”

School Superintendent Peter G. Schafer said the magic trick “was a surprise to everyone. I know Mr. Fitzgerald regrets performing (the) trick and has apologized.”

TORONTO — An exotic dancer at a well-known male strip club in Etobicoke was exonerated of sexual assault charge after a judge believed that it was casual sex, not rape. Justice Susan Himel acquitted Domenic Antonelli, 37, of two counts of sexual assault and forcible confinement, saying she believed the Antonelli had consensual sex with a 33-year-old woman at the Foxxes Den in June 2009. Himel described the woman's testimony as "inconsistent, implausible and incredible."

The woman's friendly behaviour towards Antonelli after the alleged rape undermined her credibility, said Himel.

The woman alleged Antonelli had a lap dance with her, then led her to the building's basement where she was raped and later forced to perform oral sex after a second lap dance. The woman, who married her Christian fundamentalist fiance one week after the incident, hadn't had sex for several months as she had been abstaining for religious reasons, court heard.

The woman attended the strip club with a group of friends. After the sex with Antonelli, she hugged and kissed him and her sister bought her a second lap dance with him. Some suggestive photos of the two of them were also snapped. "I want my good name back and to resume to my normal life," said Antonelli, a full-time social worker who danced part-time under the name of "Dallas." The charges resulted in him being suspended without pay from his two social work jobs.

Romantic Xiao Li, 22, helplessly looked on as Wang Xue gulped down the expensive necklace planted inside a muffin he'd baked especially for his girlfriend's birthday party in Qingdao, eastern China.'I thought it would show how much I love her and it would be a good joke too. But before I could say anything she'd swallowed it in one bite and I had to tell her the truth on the way to hospital,' he said.After taking an X-ray doctors decided they would need to perform endoscopic surgery to remove the necklace from the 22-year-old's stomach. A probe was put down her throat and her birthday pressie was fished out as good as new.

'She got her necklace back eventually, but I'm not sure she will ever feel very comfortable wearing it even though I spent hours cleaning it for her,' Xiao added.

Why-Farm tractor joyride lands man in jail

What was he thinking…?

SARNIA, Ont. - A drunk driver with four prior convictions got nearly two years of jail time for his erratic actions behind the wheel of a farm tractor. Jeffrey Kerr, 49, who had previously pleaded guilty to impaired driving, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified, was in court once again Tuesday in the south-western Ont. city of Sarnia.Kerr forced other vehicles off the road when he went on a joyride June 18, 2010. He was swerving from one side of the road to the other, then went into the ditch and apparently passed out but returned to the road with a beer in his hand.A victim impact statement from one driver stated an area family could have lost a loved one due to the risk posed by Kerr.Police arrived to find Kerr driving in the middle of the road until they managed to get him to pull over.In addition to the open beer, there were six empties on the tractor.Kerr’s speech was incomprehensible except for saying something about watering cows.Breath samples showed his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

It was Kerr’s fifth conviction for a drinking and driving offence.

Wow- 'Mr Penguin' dreams of Antarctic funeral

Another strange diying wish…

BRUSSELS - Belgian pensioner Alfred David dreams one day he’ll find eternal rest in the icy waters somewhere near Antarctica, dressed in his penguin suit and laid out in a coffin decorated with penguins. The 79-year-old “Monsieur Pingouin” (Mr Penguin), as he is known to locals in his Brussels neighbourhood, dons his favourite hooded black-and-white penguin costume as he looks back at more than 40 years of obsession. “My ultimate dream is to be buried in a deep ocean close to where penguins live,” David told Reuters. David’s life changed in May 1968 when his hip was injured in a car accident. His resulting limp was characterised by his colleagues as a waddle, and they dubbed him Mr Penguin.

How- A Scottish woman wakes up with Italian accent

How this change happen…

Foreign Accent Syndrome sounds like the title of the next Will Ferrell movie, but it's actually a real medical condition.

It's why Debbie McCann, of Glasgow, Scotland, woke up with an Italian accent after she suffered a stroke."When my voice came back, I sounded Chinese. I couldn't believe it. Now people say I sound more like I'm from Italy, yet I've never been to either of those countries," the 48-year-old grandmother told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.Foreign Accent Syndrome is so rare, it's known to affect just 60 people in the world and usually occurs as a result of a brain injury, stroke or migraine.McCann said she is embarrassed to speak to people and often gets asked where she's from even though Glasgow is her hometown.A medical expert told the paper there is no cure for Foreign Accent Syndrome. Sometimes it just disappears; others are afflicted with it for life.

TORONTO - Tony Marcu claims he’s a porn loser. Marcu, who goes by the stage name of “Craig”, has just filed a $100 million lawsuit against the Canadian government alleging their negligence ruined his chances of becoming a millionaire adult film actor and producer in his native Romania. “The Great Canadian Male” star wanted to take his talents to Europe and make it big. Instead, the unemployed porn actor is back in Toronto, collecting welfare and living in a rooming house, and he blames the RCMP for their 10-month delay in issuing him the police clearance he needed to open his adult film business in Romania. With his bleached blond hair, the 38-year-old sits in the corner of his tiny room and bemoans the bureaucracy that dashed a dream that began when he was just a child. “In Grade 1 I saw a porn magazine from Denmark and I wanted to be like those guys,” he insists with a laugh. “It’s all about love, that’s what I like.”

The BBC has threatened organisers of the adult lifestyle show Erotica with legal action after it gave this year's event a Strictly theme.Exhibition organisers billed the show Strictly Erotica and recruited two former professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing to take part.Erotica's promotional material showed the two dancers posing under a glitter ball, which is famously used in the BBC1 show.Dancer Hanna Haarala, who appeared in the third series of Strictly Come Dancing, was daubed in a body painted bikini top, while her dance partner Andrew Cuerden had Strictly Erotica written on his chest.Cuerden, who also appeared in the third series of Strictly, was quoted as saying: "It will be great to really explore the sexuality of dance. We want to break a few boundaries and go where no TV show could.""It's strictly but not as you've seen it before.

Lucky-Lottery winner's ticket left on fridge for two months

What a fridge surprise…?

TORONTO - Craig Henshaw was a multi-millionaire for two months and didn’t even know it. The 42-year-old high school woodworking teacher was too preoccupied staying in hostels in Paris and couch surfing in Ireland and Vienna with his girlfriend.

It was only when he arrived home in Toronto did he check the July 8 LottoMax ticket and realized he was $21.4 million richer.

“I wouldn’t have lived out of a backpack for two months if I knew I had $21 million sitting on my fridge at home,” Henshaw said during a Tuesday press conference. In July, he stopped off at the Shell station near Dufferin and Dupont Sts. for his usual diesel fuel-up of his Volkswagon Jetta. He asked for $10 worth of Quick Pick tickets and paid no mind to them.

“Let the machine do the work, it’s way smarter than me and it worked out,” Henshaw said. “I don’t spend a lot of money on them, just whenever I gas up every week and a half.”

Scary-Grizzly chases men up tree in Alberta

CALGARY — Spending four hours in a tree shouting at a grizzly to leave him alone is the last thing southern Alberta mountaineer Barry Blanchard expected Monday morning. The professional guide was in the Lake Louise area of Banff, about 188 km northwest of Calgary, with a Japanese tourist, when they were joined on their trail by the large bear. "I started talking to him and said 'whoa bear, it's okay bear,' and started backing up," he said. "He was really good, my client, and the bear was doing really good, so we were just talking to the bear and backing up and the bear was letting us back up." The bear followed the pair for 10 to 15 minutes, choosing them over a fork in the road and other distractions. Blanchard, from Canmore, Alta., said the bear sat at one point, but then got up and kept following.
